Heart-pounding, gut-wrenching from the first chapter. So much lore, history, and backstory has built up to such a crescendo with an epic conclusion to this book. I am desperate to know what happens next. My heart is not okay. (03/2024)

Jennifer really kicked up the spice in this one from the last book which was welcomed as the pace was so slow in the middle. Casteel is 🥵yes🥵 incarnate. Keiran can always get it and I NEED more Delano. The last several chapters were INSANE - An amazing ending that rocked me to my core and set the stage perfectly for the next book. 😩🤌🏽

Rant review because I'm a salty lesbian lmao.
JLA has a nasty habit of shoving massive amounts of information down readers' throats, passing it off as her MC Poppy always having a lot of questions, when the truth is she just sucks at worldbuilding. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention but I truly don't understand what the gods are in this world or what their purpose is. Are they just super powerful magic users??? So confusing. Seems like the rules of magic get bent at JLA's will when she needs something convenient to happen.
Poppy, Casteel, and Rhysand from ACOTAR should get together sometime and dissertate on white feminism. This book has a lot of balls to have a black character named Tawny and then turn around and use "tawny" frequently to describe the dark color of another character's skin, whose name (Kieran) means "dark one." Just ????? What ????? Could JLA not afford a SINGLE sensitivity reader?
I really think these books would work a lot better if they would stop kidding themselves about overdramatic plot and just have the romance. As it stands, we just see Poppy and Casteel willing to kill, kill, and guess what? kill people to get revenge for the other person, but the only interactions we actually see Poppy and Casteel have either have almost no chemistry or their attraction is PURELY physical.
I really, really cannot decide if I want to spend time from my life reading the next book. I kept going this long because I thought Poppy and Casteel might go through some sort of development, but there really isn't much to speak for.
